I really, really feel for Romero.
During breakfast, Norman takes more notice of things that are different, such as the new drapes.
So Norman respects Normas request and pays Romero a visit.

(Can you hey tell the sheriff his wifes son is here to see him?
CLASSIC, Norman.)
You know, Romeros nice and all, but he doesnt KNOW Norma like her precious son does.
Certain things can never change.
Things that you know nothing about and never, ever will, he tells him.
Its the same speech and excuse she gives Romero when she shows up at his house.
Shes missed him, but Romeros not in the mood for being cutesy.
He tells Norma about her sons visit, which Norma was, obviously, unaware of.
So she needs to make a choice between her son and her lover.
Romero loves Norma so much, you guys.
And Norma loves him, too she assures him shes not giving him up.
Dylan and Emma arrive at the house, where Emma has a polite but awkward reunion with Norman.
Could Emma and Dylan be the only people who get out of this show intact?
Or would that be too good to be true?
Thats what he learned in therapy, after all.
Spoiler alert: Theyre probably not happy ones.
After Dylan and Emma leave, Norma finds Norman in his room.
Norman tries to sleep but fails and is distracted when he sees Romero arrive and enter Normas room.
Because, again, this isnt creepy.
(And what Vera Farmiga has done with Norma.
Give this girl her Emmy already.)
(No, not really, Norma…
It goes a little deeper than that.)
And Norma lashes back, finally fed up with everything.
She loves Romero, and he has to deal with it, and thats that.
Its only when hes dissociating that he can commit his crimes.
Its sad because you realize Norman does have some heart.
But he also has his issues.
Its enough to freak Romero out, though.
And the terror is only beginning.
